Earlier, the Don Bosco Technology Center (DBTC) Greywolves escaped with a 66-63 win over the smaller University of San Carlos (USC) Baby Warriors for their second victory in four games.

Time has changed and for the Magis Eagles, they showed a lot of im-provements one year after they lost to the Cebu Eastern College (CEC) Dragons in the finals. They defeated the same rivals last year only by six points, 78-72, but now they made sure that they have left the Baby Panthers dead.

Three Magis Eagles finished in double figures led by Julius Cadavis with 17 markers as they beat the Baby Panthers in the second half to the pulp after being just ahead by two at the intermission, 32-30.

The victory gave them a clean 4-0 slate in the company of the University of the Visayas (UV) Baby Lancers. It rarely happened that the Magis     Aaron Sing added 14 points while Patrick Go had 13 points for the Magis Eagles.

On the other hand, Stephen Nierre collected 25 points to lead the Junior Greywolves even as Jose Marlo Pono and Carmel Lex Mellijor chipped in 15 and 14 points, respectively.
